Every candidate communication is a brand moment. This document gives you a complete, professional set of templates for every stage between the hiring decision and the start date.
Templates include: verbal offer call script, written offer letter (with inline jurisdiction flags for IE/UK/US/CA/AU on probation periods, notice periods, annual leave, and right to work verification), offer acceptance confirmation, pre-start communication sequence, candidate hold letter, two rejection letter templates (post-first interview and post-final interview), and candidate withdrawal acknowledgement.
FAQS
Q What templates are included in this pack?
Eight templates: a verbal offer call script, written offer letter (with inline jurisdiction flags), offer acceptance confirmation, pre-start communication sequence (four touchpoints from acceptance to start date), a candidate hold letter, two rejection letter templates (post-first interview and post-final interview), and a withdrawal acknowledgement. Each template includes guidance notes on when and how to use it.
Q Why does the offer letter include jurisdiction flags?
Several offer letter fields carry different legal implications depending on where the candidate will work. Probation periods are statutorily capped in Ireland (6 months under the Employment (Amendment) Act 2023). Notice periods must meet statutory minimums in the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. Annual leave entitlements differ across jurisdictions. The inline flags explain the rules for each of the five covered jurisdictions so the form can be completed accurately and lawfully without separate research.
Q Is the offer letter the same as an employment contract?
No — and the pack makes this clear. The offer letter is a pre-contractual communication of the key terms. In the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Australia, employers are legally required to provide a written statement of employment particulars or a full employment contract within a defined period of starting work. The offer letter communicates intent; the employment contract is the legally binding document and should be prepared or reviewed by employment counsel in the applicable jurisdiction.
Q Why does the pack include rejection letter templates?
Candidate experience at the rejection stage has a measurable impact on employer brand. Candidates who receive a thoughtful, timely rejection are more likely to apply again, refer others, and speak positively about the organisation. In specialist talent markets like health tech, where the candidate pool is small and interconnected, every candidate relationship has long-term value.
